Don't all rush with your stories, there is plenty of room for everyone. My excuse - well I have started writing the story for the latest challenge (A case of mind over matter remember?) after hoo-ing and ha-ing about the story line I wanted I have started on it. It will take some time yet as I still have to visualise quite a few things.

As to the final part to the previous challange (My house my rules) it has been proof read and a number of suggestions were made to improve the story line. I have to visualise these to see how I can incorporate them. It's coming - don't worry.

Well believe it or not I have actually finished my story in the latest challange (A case of mind over mater). I have passed it on for proof reading and not with standing any unforseen problems I will probably upload it in 4 - 6 weeks time.

I've had the privilege of proof reading Cony's story, and know that my story is very different. Hope you like.

So I have been outed . I have recieved back from Sirius my version after he proofread it for me, and made a number of suggestions. Most of his corrections (>95%) I have accepted - mostly because I am very bad at spelling and grammer - and am now working on the suggestions he has suggested for changes to the story. I know he had problems with my rewritten end to the story, but I will make some changes taking into account his suggestions.

I've thought for a long time that Science Fiction is a good way to approach stories about naturism. The problem I find with most naturist fiction is that it always ends up seeming unrealistic - I just end up thinking "that could never happen". By placing it in another world with different assumptions, anything becomes possible!

**** SPOILER(ISH) *****Apart from that, there's plenty of stories about "normal" people discovering naturist groups and trying to understand how that works. It's an interesting twist to have a fully clothes optional society discovering a "clothes compulsory" one and trying to work out what's going on.

I have just uploaded a new story (The Eraser). This was based on an idea thrown up on this board at the end of 2013.

The basic ideas were as follows :

My son has just come home with an eraser.It has lived a life of eraser crime, being lobbed at the back of people's heads, most recently his. He want's ideas on how the eraser can live a new life bettering humanity, and ideally not including rubbing things out.

Well, that's a tricky one. An eraser is designed purely for the function of rubbing things out. While we should not condone such destructive behaviour, how can it ever lead a fulfilled existence if we suppress it's natural instincts so completely? Perhaps we can find things it can erase that cause no harm.

Otherwise, we have to ask what else is it suited to? The only alternative use I can find for it is as some kind of padding material, e.g. to stop a door from harming a piece of furniture when it bumps into it. Would that be sufficiently fulfilling for it to lead a happy life?

Use it to prop up an uneven table leg.

In England an eraser is otherwise known as a rubber, taken from the material used to make it. For the same reason condoms are also known as rubbers. Which is more ethical: erasing someone, or stopping them being created in the first place? Either way, it doesn't look good for rubbers.

Actually, "rubber" is so called in English because its original use was as an eraser, for rubbing out pencil mistakes. But when Americans refer to "a rubber" they don't mean an eraser, they mean something worn on the body--on the feet or possibly elsewhere.

My challenge is now to you, dear readers, what is your version of this. You do not need to follow my unusual (some would say weird) story line, but have a stab.

Now I need a rest. I have only been working on this for about four years, but I am looking for a new story line.

Enjoy
